The autosizing only applies to the cache itself. There is a separate issue for a query data structures memory limit (https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1375). We'll try to address it soon, but the cache autosizing should take care of most problems people have seen before.

I'm also looking forward to stable formats and seamless migration, but it's a really hard problem. I think for the time being we'll introduce a stable branch, and users will have to pick between new features or stability. It's not ideal, but will give most people most of what they want.
